NIST's Deborah Jin

Sci Am has a concise listing of Deborah Jin's accomplishment in the field of condensed matter physics. Her discovery of the first ever fermionic condensates is nothing short of extraordinary and was such a crucial "missing piece" in the BCS-BEC connection.

I've always maintained that this is Nobel caliber work and will not be surprised if she wins it one of these days.
